Whoa theie, woman! Stop aminute. Pause in your tracks and

catch your breath. This Christmasbusiness is getting you down. You Ican > ec it in your eyes when youlook in the mirror; you are con- iscious that the telephone bells ofyour nervous sys:em are ringing;

you know it because the ginger

has gone out of your steps andyou want to crawl into a dark hole 1

' and stay there until after New iYear’s day. Isn’t it the truth? |

1 Take it ea c y. S.ow up. It will a’lbe the same a year hence* exactlythe same because next year you

up, cooks a whale of a dinner fira pack of relatives, and cleans up

the house next day, she is jiabout ready to ge carted off to apsychopathic ward. Without ques-tion, mama gets the woith of it

unless she has capable help in the

home and even then it is a tough

job.

SERVES HER RIGHT

Christmas. Tha* nips half a day

out of the calendar. The wavecomes out frizzy and starched, the

wave set Leing too thick, and Ma-ma not only does not look like her-

self but she looks unlike anybodyshe ever seen before, unless

it be a Fiji Islander in the circus.

GO TO BEAUTY SHOP

Mama is in luck if Daddy dees

evening. The chances are he will.“Give ’em pot luck.” he says over

the telephone. “Just cook a littlemore grub, that’s all.” Fine! And

a single lamb chop ordered for

If i here’s any time- for extras,

dear Christmas shopper, steeryourself into a beauty shop andhave the whole works— shampoo,

wave, facial, manicure and, if pos-

sible, a body message. Nothing like

an overhauling of that kind to un-tie nerve knot*?, to smooth the

troubled brow and to get the “oh,

tude established.Holidays finally come to an end,

and according to the lights of someoverworked wives and mothers, that

is the besi thing about them.

By ARDEN H. DUANE for ANPNow is the time to make your own Christmas Flares!

And you’ll find it lots and lots of real fun!My house is a hustle and a bustle . .

. the family is all“agog’ ’making Santas, reindeer, Christmas trees, hollysprays, stars, bells, angels. All these Christmas symbols areappropriate and can be made right at home with inexpen-sive and beautiful materials.

For all sorts of sparkling decora-

tions use glassips (cellophanedrinking straws). The method is

very simple and practically thesame for all. Glassips* cut in therequired lengths are tipped with

hot sealing wax and tied tightlywith wire which makes them popup into soarkline* round balls.

GLASSIP ANGEL ... Tip thir.11v-J :x transparent glassies with

Scotch tape. Clip to shape. Tip withwhite wax. Hold to waist with wire.

PINV GARLANDS. .These are asfine and featherv as real pine. Cuta fine inch strip of leaf greencrepe paner across the fold. Un-

fold and cut in eight inch long

nieces. Stretch each crepe niece

and fold in half three times. Slashas fine as possible in four inchdeep flashes. Ron uncut edge of

stems of from five to seven berriestogether to form a bunch. Makeearland by wrapping slashed

bunches.* of crene and berries on a

medium weight wire. Use one inch

wide strip of crepe lor wrapping.

MODFRN ICY TREES.- They

look just like cones of frosty ice.

Tliere is one for the table center

and tinv ones for each, place. Thevare made of clear transparent cel-lophane. First, make cone-shaoedfoundations over which to work.,

the large one is ten inches high

and ten inches in diameter, .thesmajl one four inches high and twoinches in diameter. Place on sheetof cellophane over the cone andnull it down to the lower edge in

small gathers. Cover with a mix-ture of two parts water to one

"a - 1 mucilage applied with a brush.Now lay a second sheet of cello-phane over the first and pull downin the same way. Repeat with a

third and fourth layer of cello-phane. Trim off at the bottom,

Allow to dry thoroughly and re-move from the foundation. Rein-

force with a circle of wire wrappedwith silver tinsel ribbon. Fasten tothe lower edge of the cone with

fine annealed wire. Stand the cone

on the end of a fourteen inch stick<o” piece of firm wire) wrappedwith a silver tinsel ribbon. Holdthe stick upright in a two and one

half inch square block of wood cov-ered with crushed cellophane.

Decorate tbe tee with gummedstar seals in assorted bright colors.

leaf-By SUE LEAF

Dear Miss Leaf:I have been married for eight

years. My husband was very niceto me until three or four yearsago, when he began to abuse me.At times, he is nice as he can be;then again, he curses me andtreats me so mean I can hardlystay with him. I have tried to quithim but I can’t. I don’t knowwhether I love him that much orwhy I can’t leave him.

How can I get him to treatme better?

NITAAfter you have given eight years

of your life to a man, you don’twant to admit failure and youstay on with him. Without him>ou just don’t know what youwould do. That is just the waymost women feel about those nogood men. When he comes innice, you forget all of the meanthings he has said and done andlove him for what he is.

My opinion is that he comes inmean and hateful and saying badthings to you because he does notwant you to ask him where he hasbeen and what he has been doing

until two o’clock in the morning orlater.

You want to stay with him, I amsure, so don’t nag him about whathe does. Just let him roll along forawhile on his own. Be nice to himeven when he abuses you and seeii your indifference to what hedoes and says will not change him.If kindness will not change him,

nothing will. But give him achance.

Dear Miss Sue Leaf:I am fifteen years old an?, very

much in love with a boy who says

that he loves me. Lots of boys usedto come to our house but theystopped and we do not have muchcompany now. Will I find any newfriends?

JANE.You are much too young to be s»

worried about boys and I imagine

the boys feel that same way andare staying away until you are oldenough to know what it is allabout. They don’t want to do anycradle snatching, so wait until yxihave grown up. You ought to haveschool on your mind now, and try

to get an education. Other prob-lems will take care of,

Wools In BrightColors Seasonable

By HAZEiL G. REEDWoolens in shades ranging from

sky blue to papaya orange, are be-ing shown this season in every

type garment from sports clothesto dance frocks, and the widevariety of styles and colors are ex-tremely eye-absorbing. Particularlylovely in beautiful dandy caforsand paint-box tints, the wools be-ing used this season are fine andlight weight, yet cosily warm for

wear on snappy days and cold win-ter nights.

For general wear, luscious pastelsin bonbon shades that vie with aconfeitioner’s window for color,

sound a note of gayety under darkcoats. lending a stunning contrastto sombre cloth and heavy fur

amts these pastei-hued frocksenliven the winter scene consider-ably. One-piece swing-skirtedmodels and two piece affairswith meticulously tailored blousesand slim gored skirts are delight-

ful in pale blue, rase pink, limegreen and yellow.

Among the bolder colors for

sheath-like evening frocks are em-erald and cypress green. severalspicy shades of fcopper. Americanbeauty, raspberry and tscarlet.These dresses are made up in stylesthat have manipulated the materi-

als beautifully. Thuy are stream-iined in most cases, some with the vnew hobble-top skirt, some in two- *>tones., and all with the exquisitedrapery that can be achieved with •soft, wooleas.

For the contrasts, raspberry andblue, gold and cypress green, em-. •erald and American beauty are el- •

fective combines. For less formal *

occasions, the additions of a jacketin a contrasting shade is attrac-tive. Thin wool also teams wellwith velveteen. A velveteen skirt"

*

with contrasting wool bodice bringstogether that dull and lustrous com-bination that is so flattering toevery figure.

Woo] a’so has replaced velvet andto some extent for evening wraps,

and here full-length capes are al-most as popular as the coats.Many of the capes are hooded withcontrasting shade lining the hood.

Heavier wool is used for thesegarments and is warmly interlined.

White is a favorite, followed close-ly by flag blue, bright red, and’"varied shades of green. One coatof fir-green closes with bright red

frog fastenings in a most attrac-

tive way. Seven-eighth length coats

of wool also are being usee 1 for

evening.

those ideals and objectives as set

forth in resolutions adopted at
